These lovely spring flowers have clover-like, delicate, fresh green foliage (they are often called shamrocks). The five-petalled, bowl- or cup-shaped flowers open and close depending on the level of sunlight - closing when it's overcast and at night.
Oxalis enneaphylla 'Rosea' has really lovely blue-grey, pleated leaflets and showy pink flowers with deeper coloured veins.
